You got a bug eating your plants. When I did grow outdoors, unfortunately I would use pesticides for the first few weeks along with neem oil. This might not be the best solution, but it did work for me. I had the same issue.

Do you post just for post count?
This guy is looking for an answer and you gave him a petty one.
No shit thats a bug lol.

Anyways the pics are to blurry to see.
Check every leaf and check under them.
Also try to get a better pic.

Those can be snails, look around for the slug trails.
Also they could be catipillars, check them every hour if you can.
The smaller ones look like thrips.

Main 3 bugs that will chew on your darling and they all look somewhat similar.

It wont, its normal for outdoors to have couple bites on them here and their.
But go to homedepot and get EcoSmart spray bottle thats all organic.
Spray under allthe leaves to kill them.
Problem solved
